Smart Gas Alarms — In Tbilisi
Smart Gas Alarms are safety devices that detect natural gas (methane CH4), liquefied gas (propane C3H8, butane C4H10), and carbon monoxide (CO) leaks in air and warn you about danger in apartments, houses, kitchens, boiler rooms in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. These detectors protect your family from explosion, poisoning, and fire — detects gas leak at 0.1%-0.5% concentration, sound siren 85-95dB, smartphone notification, automatic gas shut-off (integration with valve manipulator). LAGI offers smart gas detectors with full functionality: WiFi/Zigbee connection (mobile app), electrochemical/catalytic sensor (high accuracy), detection: methane (CH4 0-100% LEL), propane/butane (C3H8/C4H10 0-100% LEL), carbon monoxide (CO 0-999ppm), sound siren (85-95dB), LED indicator (green/red), self-diagnostics (sensor check), 220V AC power or battery, lifespan 3-5 years, integration with valve manipulator/ventilation. All models comply with EN 50194 and CE standards.
Main Functions of Gas Detectors
- Gas leak detection — methane (natural gas), propane/butane (liquefied gas), CO (carbon monoxide).
- Sound siren — 85-95dB, will wake at night, neighbors will hear.
- Smartphone notification — gas leak → Push notification, SMS, call.
- Automatic gas shut-off — integration with valve manipulator → gas automatically shuts off.
- Integration with ventilation — gas leak → ventilation turns on, window opens (smart window).
- Self-diagnostics — sensor check, warning when sensor faulty.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Methane detector (natural gas CH4) — detects natural gas (methane) that comes from gas pipes (central gas supply), methane lighter than air → rises up → detector must install near ceiling (30cm from ceiling), used in apartments, houses with central gas supply. Propane/butane detector (liquefied gas C3H8/C4H10) — detects liquefied gas (propane, butane) that comes from cylinders, propane/butane heavier than air → sinks down → detector must install near floor (30cm from floor), used in houses, boiler rooms where gas cylinders used. Universal detector — detects both (methane + propane/butane), can install at medium height (1.5m from floor), ideal if don't know which gas used. Recommendation: central gas supply (methane) → methane detector (near ceiling), gas cylinders (propane/butane) → propane detector (near floor), don't know → universal detector.
Automatic gas shut-off is system that automatically closes gas valve when detector detects gas leak — components: gas detector (WiFi/Zigbee), valve manipulator (electric motor, 12V DC), gas valve (ball valve DN15-DN25). How it works: 1) detector detects gas leak (>0.5% LEL) → sound siren turns on (85-95dB), 2) detector sends signal to valve manipulator (WiFi/Zigbee), 3) manipulator closes gas valve (3-5 seconds, 90° turn), 4) gas supply stopped → leak stopped, 5) smartphone notification ("Gas leak! Valve closed"). Additional functions: integration with ventilation (gas leak → ventilation turns on), integration with windows (gas leak → window opens), integration with siren (gas leak → external siren turns on). This allows preventing explosion — gas leak automatically stops in 3-5 seconds.
Gas detector sensor lifespan depends on sensor type — electrochemical sensor (CO carbon monoxide): 3-5 years, high accuracy, requires calibration once per 1-2 years, expensive. Catalytic sensor (methane, propane): 3-5 years, medium accuracy, no calibration required, cheap. Semiconductor sensor (MOS): 5-10 years, low accuracy, cheap. When sensor lifespan ends: detector will warn you (sound signal, LED indicator, smartphone notification), sensor doesn't work correctly → false notifications or doesn't detect gas, sensor replacement or whole detector replacement required. How to increase lifespan: avoid dust (regular cleaning), avoid humidity (don't install in bathroom), avoid extreme temperature (-10°C / +50°C). Recommendation: check detector every month (test button), replace detector once per 3-5 years (preventive replacement). Gas detector is life-saving device — don't save on it.
